CSEC Chemistry · January 2002 · Paper 2 · Question 2(a)

Decomposition of hydrogen peroxide: 2H2O2(l) -> H2O(l) + 2O2(g) [given in question as H2O + 2O2 / 2H2O + O2]. Experiments with and without MnO2 and varying temperature shown in Figure 1.

Draw a fully labelled diagram of the apparatus that could have been used to carry out Experiment I.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
